Instrument- .Glass bottle xylophone My experiment is about making a Glass bottle xylophone that plays six notes What is sound and how does it travel? Sound is a sort of energy made by vibrations (Jane. E, 2016). When any object vibrates, it causes movement in the air particles (Jane. E, 2016). These particles bump into the particles close to them, which makes them vibrate too causing them to bump into more air particles (Jane. E, 2016). This movement, called sound waves, keeps going until they…

Introduction The acoustic reflex (AR) describes the involuntary contraction of the stapedius tendon in response to high-intensity sound (Emanuel, 2009). An intricate neural network, receiving afferent input from the vestibulocochlear nerve and sending efferent output to the facial nerve, controls contraction (Emanuel, 2009). The reflex is intensity-dependent, as particular intensities cause the contraction. Once contracted, it lessens the vibrations traveling through the stapes footplate as it…

In this particular episode of the podcast, 99% Invisible, Roman Mars explores unpleasant design, and how architecture and technology have contributed greatly to the depersonalization and sterilization of public spaces. One of the original methods of deterrence through design is sound, more aptly put, sound that is unpleasant or assaulting to the ears. The best example of this is something I myself heard about but never experienced (thankfully) throughout my adolescence. In an attempt to combat…

At some point in time, many people will experience problems with their voice. When speaking, words may sound broken, whispery, strangled or hoarse, and a person may struggle just to sound normal. In most cases, these vocal problems eventually go away, but if they don’t, then this condition may be a neurological disorder known as spasmodic dysphonia. Definition and Facts Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder that can affect the entire body or a specific body part. The primary…

and attributed into distinct perceptual streams analogous to the distinct sound sources in listeners’ environment (Bregman, 1990; Moore & Gockel, 2002; Carlyon, 2004). The process with which the nervous system makes sense of complex patterns of acoustic stimulation is called auditory scene analysis (Bregman, 1990). Thus, segregating the sounds arising from various sources in the environment, leading to an internal representation of auditory streams becomes the goal of auditory scene analysis.…

for a vast amount of people. In order to have music a person needs an instrument, rather that instrument is their voice, drums, piano or something else is up to them. Today I am going to talk to you about the history of the violin , acoustic guitar, and electric guitar. The violin is an instrument with a voice that can range from a soft speaking angel to the devil rocking out to punk rock music. Violin 2016 states that the violin developed from a variety of fiddle types during the 16th century…

The crowd generously cheers as I exit, and with a smile on my face, I gently place my guitar in its case and go home to rest because the next day awaits another performance. Ultimately, my life is a series of different performances. Each song that I play possesses its own unique rhythms and strumming patterns, but the chord progression remains…

material(s) did he use to construct the first Solid-Body Electric Guitar? What does “overdubbing” mean? • Les Paul was a guitarist and inventor. His innovations in electronics and recording throughout the 1950s had a lasting impact on popular music.
